Hi, I’m Nick.

I’ve been teaching English for 20 years, working all over the world in Colombia, Morocco, Italy, Poland, and Sri Lanka. My work has mostly been for the British Council and International House, but also for The University of Sheffield, Middlesex University, and other top institutions.

IELTS can be a life-changing test - a way to help you get a place at university, get a new job, or move to a new country. I know how important it is and I love seeing people achieve these goals. As a former IELTS speaking examiner, I know the test well, and can give you the right information on how to prepare effectively. I’ve helped hundreds of people achieve their IELTS goals and I’d like to help you too.

Getting the score you need on the IELTS test takes two things…

Exam skills

In order to get a good score, it’s essential to know how the test works in terms of structure and timing. I’ll also help you to develop strategies to recognise and respond to different question types.

Language

Building good grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation are the foundation of a good test score. I’ll help you to identify your strengths and work on your areas for development.
